These Uruks travel in smaller bands and often operate behind enemy lines striking at exposed and sensitive targets. Saruman's craft has bestowed them with great stamina allowing them to run for miles without rest, especially when not encumbered by heavy armour. Their combination of strength and mobility makes them suitable for several different roles as scouts, raiders, or even "bounty hunters, " as their endurance makes them relentless trackers. Their equipment and general composition is less than ideal for large head-on engagements, although an Uruk's strength and savagery should never be underestimated.
